Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that he has been having trouble sleeping during
Chelsea’s disappointing run of results which has seen them drop to third in
the Premier League table.

At the same time the Chelsea manager declared that it was time for his players to “wake up” as he expressed his anger after the draw at home to Everton.

“We have to change our ideas,” he said. “We are working to play a kind of football that is totally different to the way we played in the second half. We have to ask why this happened.

“I saw a team that was afraid, scared and unable to play our football, unable to play easy passes. It was just long-ball. This is not our aim - I think we have to wake up. We have to wake up from this moment.

"We can move on but what we are doing is not enough.”

Asked whether he was concerned over his future, Ancelotti said: “It’s not my decision. It’s the decision of the club but I don’t feel pressure over this.
